4. Enable SMCF on your site! SMCF works by looking for links (HTML A elements) with a class of "smcf-link". See below:

You have 4 options:

a) Add the "smcf-link" to your existing (or new) contact link:

<a href="/contact" class="smcf-link">Contact</a>

b) Use the "smcf()" function in one of your theme files (`sidebar.php`, for example):

<?php if (function_exists('smcf')) : ?>

<?php smcf(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

c) If your contact link is generated using `wp_page_menu()` or `wp_list_pages()`, you can enter the contact link title in the SMCF Options under "Contact Link Title" and SMCF will automatically attempt to add the smcf-link class for that link.

d) If you are using the WordPress Menus (Admin > Appearance > Menus) feature, you'll need to perform the following steps to manually add the necessary CSS class to the Menu item that you want to trigger SimpleModal Contact Form:

1. On the Menus screen, click the 'Screen Options' link on the top right. In the "drop down", select 'CSS Classes' under 'Show advanced menu properties'.

2. Now, for the link you want to use to trigger SimpleModal Contact Form, enter `smcf-link` under 'CSS Classes (optional)'.

3. That Menu item should trigger SimpleModal Contact Form when clicked!

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I change the output of the smcf() function? =

You can modify the link URL and link title on the SMCF WordPress options page.

= How do I change the elements in the contact form? =

* Go to Plugins > Plugin Editor > SimpleModal Contact Form (SMCF).

* Look for `function footer()`

* Edit the HTML in the `$form` variable.

* *Note*: Be careful not to enter anything that would cause PHP errors. =)

= How do I change the styling of the contact form? =

Open `simplemodal-contact-form-smcf/css/smcf.css` and modify the CSS to fit your needs.

*Note*: There are some browser specific CSS values that are set in the JavaScript (`simplemodal-contact-form-smcf/js/smcf.js`).

= What does the "Unfortunately, your message could not be verified." message mean? =

Starting in SMCF v1.1, there is a new "security" feature that attempts to ward off unwanted spam. A "token" is created and placed in the contact form. When the form is submitted, the token is verified and if the token does not exist or fails verification, the user will see the "Unfortunately, your message could not be verified." message. If this is happening for legitimate users, please let me know!

= What does the "Unfortunately, a server issue prevented delivery of your message." message mean? =

It means a server issue was encountered. See the last item in the next FAQ:

= I've followed all of the instructions, but it doesn't work...what gives? =

Here are some troubleshooting steps to follow:

* Use Firefox and Firebug or if you must use IE, turn on JavaScript debugging and install the Developer Toolbar (search Google if you are unsure of how to do any of these)
